IASPM UK and Ireland Conference 2002
University of Newcastle, 16-18 July

'Popular Music Studies: Where Now?'

Popular music studies is now a firmly established academic discipline.
 In particular, the work of the International Association for the
Study of Popular Music has facilitated the emergence of a global
community of researchers whose work illustrates the central importance
of popular music in relation to a range of social formations and
cultural forms in both global and local contexts.  Recent developments
in popular music studies relate, for example, to the complex interplay
between global and local music-making practices, the impact of new
technologies, and the variety of ways of interpreting the music in the
context both of cultural change and numerous theoretical debates.
Despite this high level of activity, however, the extent of dialogue
between academic researchers, creative practitioners, and music
educators remains disappointing.

The aims of the conference will be to reflect on the issues outlined
above, and to offer thoughts on the questions where popular music
studies is now, and where it is going (or ought to go).  We are
interested both in general theoretical reflections and in concrete
studies which illustrate the arguments.  We anticipate grouping
discussions into the following areas:

1 Popular music: commerce, creativity and cultural policy

How is 'creativity' to be defined and promoted in this sphere?
Political, geographical and institutional considerations are all
relevant, together with issues of censorship, market pressures and
generic convention, not to mention philosophical considerations to do
with taste, identity and agency.

2 Teaching popular music

How do/should schools and FE/HE institutions approach this?  What
issues to do with pedagogy, sociological categories, aesthetics and
canons are involved?

3 Understanding Popular Music

What methods are now used, or may be considered for use, in the study
of popular music?  What topics or areas of research are useful, or
might be considered for use?  Theoretical papers and concrete
applications are equally welcome.

Proposals which do not appear to fit neatly into the above categories
but which break new ground are also welcome.

Form of papers

The standard format is the twenty-minute paper.  However, proposals
for panel discussions, workshops, and poster presentations are also
welcome.

Deadline for proposals

Proposals for individual presentations, of not more than 300 words,
and for group activities, of not more than 500 words, should be
submitted to Richard Middleton by 1 March 2002.  Please include full
contact details with your proposal, which should preferably be sent by
e-mail, to [log in to unmask]  (attachments should be sent in
RTF or some other generic format).  If e-mail is impossible, the
postal address is: Professor Richard Middleton, Department of Music,
University of Newcastle, Newcastle Upon Tyne NE1 7RU.

Anyone wanting to attend the conference should contact Richard
Middleton for a Registration Form.
